My Great Outdoors: Leeann's Sophisticated Patio

Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: We wanted a comfortable, practical and colorful space to sit outside and appreciate the garden in all the different weather situations in Portland, Oregon. Perfect for morning coffee or an evening cocktail for one person or a with group of friends.

How did you create it?:A change was needed to go from a shabby chic outdoor look to a more sophisticated one. Alot of thought was give to color, pattern and texture and we repurposed the existing furnishings and structure to achieve all the seating we needed to get out of the space.
